In July, during President Donald Trump's visit to Ankara for the NATO summit, the US government received intelligence from Israel about an Iranian threat targeting Trump. After meeting world leaders, Trump initially boarded Air Force One but was secretly transferred to a smaller military plane, a C-32A, disguised under a catering truck at the airport. This covert operation was the first of its kind during Trump's presidency. The intelligence indicated a potential threat involving shoulder-fired missiles aimed at Air Force One, though no missiles were fired and the credibility of the threat remains uncertain. Several senior aides, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, stayed on the original Air Force One, which departed with media and some White House staff unaware that Trump was not aboard. US intelligence officials decided to take extraordinary protective measures in response to the threat, with Israel playing a key role in alerting the US to the danger.
